An Epoch ia the Life of IA Public school

In the spring of 1879 a pupil in the Gates
Avenue public school in Brooklyn Eastern District.
At that time the entire neighbofhood, although
pleasant, was nnwhoIesone. as Ii commonly the case
with the thinly settled outskirts Of large city |

omaaral trouble for eight months out Of the Twelve.
HazIa was frequent complaint in the schools and
1t was while porting over nj studies one day that [
first felt the signs # attack. will not weary

began illness which continued Iesrly seven ears.
During the entire months Of prii aud May, loso /
was prostrated with it, much Of tine time in bed.
What abou,inabe experien it was TO a girl who
had teen contiH uousiy SICK before in her life
Chronic malaria IL living death

80 they told me-bu found 10 correlation in that
fact. Every ether daJ had chill, with Chaiterng
teeth, blue bps and dngrr nails; and after that the
fever, with headacfe e, backaele and separate and
distinct ache in every part Of my body where there

ease II IL Almost needles to say / TOOK quinine
took it every since, from nine TO twelve
grains a day, with no good result whatever.
But the bad effects Oi 4uinine we're plain enough.
My ears buzzcd and rang and 20 avoid This and other
disagreeabe symptoms If quinine poisoning, a ply
sician toll take my doses Of quinine at night,
retiring. DID %, and niaOy time on rising In
the morning have been so dizzy from that bitter
drug as to be almost uIable to stand; and at
tempting walk have staggered like drunken
person
But this l. only part of the story The malaria and
quinine together brought on indigestion, which was
worse II pos-ibl. than the chilis tine fever, and
had very marrow escape from chronic dyspepsia.
The very thought OF having o eat repuisiye land
yet must rat 10 live. T. it any wonder that peo-
pie so cursed and ctttrtd make sp ih,ir minds, aa
they often do that life isn't worth living?
We removed TO Harlem five years ago aud the ma
Iaria arising from the Tlver, and from tine building
operations In our neighbOrhoOd, tended TO
my trouble, and no form oi treatment seemed TO do
any good | kept ON taking quinine because the
physician presented IT, and because 1t appeared
